This article investigates the institutionalisation of cultural crowdfunding in Japan as a mode of cultural governance and economic organisation. Drawing on interviews, campaign data, and policy document analysis, it examines how crowdfunding has been reconfigured through public policy mechanisms, including tax incentives, government-led campaigns, and partnerships between cultural agencies and digital platforms.
